What cheers you up?

A glass of Guinness, and Gransnet! ?. And a silly WhatsApp message from my GS.

petitpois is there room on the sofa for me? We are kindred spirits. I would add a good handful of magnesium salts (Epsom Salts, cheap from the chemist and a muscle relaxant) and a few good drops of lavender essential oil to the bath water.

Just had a shopping trip with my 18 year old granddaughter. Cheered me up no end.

Having my dinner cooked for me and a well loved tv programme to look forward to later..............and maybe a whisky and diet coke and crisps to enjoy whilst watching it!!

Waking up to a beautiful day always cheers me up, especialy if i have plenty of things planned to keep me busy and my brain stimulated.I do like to factor in a session of relaxation on the sofa though with a good film or TV prog, that always cheers me up.

If daylight at end of said long day, the garden, looking at. If dark, it used to be a real fire or even flickering imitation gas fire when I had one, now poached egg and a favourite book.

Lying in bed this morning and brain working out how to do a small job that I've wanted to for for ages. It's now all successfully done, cost nothing except time, and help from DH. (Smug and happy emoticon)

A funny dog video sent by my daughter, a new book and lovely cool mornings to walk with my dogs.

Having a good old chat with some one, preferably face to face, but also a phone call.

almost any little thing tbh, a pleasant chat with a friend, getting the ironing done, a G&T in the evening, a good book,
DH returning from shopping with the right things etc.

Today, meeting up with long time friends. Real friends that we don’t see often but when we do it’s as if we were with them yesterday.

Got home from RSC’s production of MacBeth to find DH cooking dinner. Bliss.

When at work the thought of going home lifts the spirits , especially if I've cleaned it all the previous day !

Going to work I always wake up excited on a work day,
Seeing and feeling the sun,
Going in or being beside the sea
Being in my garden With a cold cider and a packet of oven baked crisps
any contact from grandkids they are teens so it’s a bit rare now ?

My GD's face, she is called Smiley for a good reason.

Being at the seaside
Sitting in my garden listening to and watching the birds

Reading a book. A glass of very cold Champagne. Knowing I have not done anything really evil. My family. Walking in the countryside and along the coast. Sunshine.

Waking up in the morning, cheers me up no end!

Most days I walk along the sea front. I often sit on the pebbles close to the sea and our dog goes swimming. I have to go alone as H refuses to come.
The 2nd thing that cheers me up when I feel low is washing my hair. I wash my hair every x2 days. Love the just washed feeling. It always looks nicer.

Waking up in the morning and not 3 a m cheers me up, then first cup of tea of the day in bed, lovely.

At the end of a busy day at work I love to see or speak to family and friends.
After a stressful day nothing better as a pick me up than the enthusiasm of a bunch of little red people, I'm a Girlguiding Rainbow leader at two units, their enthusiasm is infectious, always go home from meetings feeling better than when I arrived

Gnet

G&t nice evening meal, watching monty don, and other things and just relaxing. Hoping I can keep awake too.
Usually knackered by about 10 o’clock if I have had a busy day.

A blue sky day cheers me up.

Watching the ocean in all weathers.

Being with my family,

A cuddle from my grandchildren.
